For the past months to put together a plan to ensure the safety of sanford and our surrounding communities. Ladies and gentlemen, its a trying time for all of us. Were not sure what the verdict is going to bring out. But at the same time, its a great opportunity for evolution within the Sanford Community and showing how we as a community can evolve to do better and be better. To ensure that we have an opportunity to speak our peace peacefully. To come together peacefully. And when you leave here, you leave here peacefully. Theres nothing on the horizon for us other than to move forward. The family has also asked the judicial system to run its course, and thats exactly what were asking other people to do. Allow the judicial system to run its course. And we will move forward from here. Thank you and have a great afternoon. Thank you very much. Youve been listening to local Law Enforcement in sanford, florida, assuring the public they are prepared for whatever reaction comes to the verdic
I turn on the tv, open the newspapers, i see stories of chaos. Chaos. Yet, it is the exact opposite. This administration is running like a fine tuned machine. Okay then. Good morning. Welcome to am joy. Those words are less true now than when donald trump said them a year ago. Its been a chaotic week in the white house. As the wheels came flying off the wagon again. On tuesday, Jared Kushner, whose business dealings with foreign governments may have landed him in a world of trouble was stripped of his top security clearance. Marking what the Washington Post calls the fall of the house of kushner. On wednesday, we learned that trump would be losing his righthand woman, White House Communications director hope hicks. Hicks announced her resignation the day after she testified to the House Intelligence Committee that her Job Responsibilities had included being required to tell the occasional white lies on trumps behalf. Trumps chaos became a problem not just for his white house but for th
e-mails were hacked before the public did. and whether he was involved in their strategic release by wikileaks. is this the beginning of the case for collusion? joining me now is paul butler, seema ayer and nick akerman. thank you for being here. let s start with nbc news reporting about trump s shout-out to russia about the missing e-mails. witnesses have been asked whether trump himself knew whether john podesta had already been targeted. they were also asked if trump was advised to make the statement about clinton s e-mails from someone outside his campaign and if the witnesses had reason to believe trump tried to coordinate the release of the dnc e-mails to do the most damage to clinton. paul butler, have we seen any evidence that has given us an answer on whether trump had advanced knowledge of what wikileaks has done before that
that s why the police chief was kind of making sure with this written statement, that he was very specific as to why. he s not saying the officer was wrong in shooting the young man. he s saying he was wrong for not following protocol and not waiting on his backup, which is going to be interesting going forward, if any civil litigation comes out in this case. and civil litigation is possible, but also, seema, the fbi declined to investigate the shooting at the request of the local authorities. right. that request was made. but a spokesman for the dallas office said, and i m quoting here, full confidence in the ability of the arlington police department and terant county district attorney s office to conduct a full investigation of this matter. they also added the agency will get involved if it determines a civil rights violation has occurred. what could prompt the fbi to get involved? how do you see a civil rights possible violation? that s a great question.
investigation, bias, profiling, excessive force, so this is a full scale investigation. it could take up to a year or more. you ll have department of justice investigators in the police department, but the commissioner, the mayor, the governor, even the union all onboard. jose? interesting, and seema, let s talk about what needs to happen for communityies to feel as though they are finally being taken into consideration and their frustrations are being heard. great question jose. from my own experience asking people in the courthouse what would you need if you were in this situation, and it s really having officers come to the communities and having these town hall type of meetings but instead of lecturing, making it more one on one, getting down to someone s level and saying what do you need to feel safe and to trust me.
